Creative City Solutions added ten sustainable homes on top of the apartment complex at Arent Janszoon Ernststraat 700 in Amsterdam. This optopping not only created additional housing but also enabled a major upgrade to the entire building. Constructed with sustainable materials like wood, five of the new homes achieved an A+ energy label. Solar panels were installed to generate green energy directly where it’s consumed.
In addition to sustainability upgrades, €400,000 worth of improvements were made, including a new elevator, entrance, and security features. Residents also benefit from an additional €300,000 to invest in further enhancements. This project combines housing expansion with sustainability, contributing to a greener city and lower living costs.
